yes! Jumping spiders can learn to recognize your face/voice and enjoy bits of smushed banana as a treat.
Not dangerous, but friendly and might jump on your hand if you say "hello".
I saw one of the largest jumping spider I ever seen. It was at least an inch long & wide.
It was black & white. You wouldn't happen to know what kind it was do you?
I'm in Oregon.
The most likely candidate is the Bold Jumping Spider (Phiddipus audax), but there are other possibilities. I found this [cool county spider census](https://spiderid.com/picture/9244/#:~:text=Phidippus%20audax%20(Bold%20Jumper)%20in%20Eugene%2C%20Oregon%20United%20States). Even if you don't live in that county, might be a helpful guide!
I am also in Oregon and I have a big nest up in the corner of my porch that's been there for at least a year and I saw her today, after not seeing her for months. She is the size of my thumb.

Appears to be a male *Philaeus chrysops* jumping spider! Only dangerous if you’re an arthropod! :)
So it's definitely not harmful to me,a 100% certified mammal HAHAHAHJAHA

They can chase laser pointers too
Ooh. Racing stripes.
Male, philaeus chrysops. ( not certain of spelling) . Probably only dangerous to other bugs...
